not these days.
The first rule is "suspect the accuser."
His trainer.
More steroid-hysteria prolefeed. Steroid abuse by high-schoolers and older amateur competitive athletes is nearly non-existent.
I find it surprising that Clemens didn’t know what Andy Pethte was doing. They are only the best of friends. But the trainer is equally culpable too.
I am gonna go with Clemens on this one. I really don’t believe he took them.
It’s only baseball. Who cares?
I find that the one who profits from such a late, after the fact, finger pointing , come to Jesus revelation is usually suspect.
Are there not tests to detect drugs in ones system that uses hair or biopsy etc that can go back as far as a year or more ??
I believe the trainer. Why would he tell the truth about Andy Pettitte, but make up an elaborate lie about Clemens? There’s a guy on Comcast Philadelphia, named John Marzano. He’s a former backup catcher for the Red Sox in the early 90’s, now turned talking head for Comcast and MLB. They asked him about it, first he said the normal player CYA, can’t believe it, etc, etc, but then said if it was only B-12 and Lidocaine that was being injected, why was the personal trainer injecting it? These teams have doctors, that would have been the doctor’s job.
I'm with Clemens all the way on this and any drugs taken such as Vioxx for pain I can accept. Steroids for muscle bulk for a pitcher? No way! Bulk is not conducive to flexibility in bio-mechanics which is what a pitcher relies on......If Clemens did take steroids then all they accomplished was to increase his appetite as evidenced by his very muscular midsection.......LOL!
Where's the FReeper who is fixated on Tiger Woods being hooked on steroids?
I believe Clemens. He brought up a good point: If the juice was helping him so much, why didn’t he take it all the time. And how did he win the C.Y. Award without it?
